Cabbage Wrap Taco Recipe

I started making these during one of those “reset” weeks when I wanted something lighter but still fun. Turns out, cabbage leaves make the perfect taco shells — sturdy, crunchy, and fresh. My husband was skeptical... until he ate four. Now they’re in our regular summer rotation!
Ingredients:
-
8 cabbage leaves (green or purple), rinsed and patted dry
-
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1/2 onion, diced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade)
-
1/4 cup water
-
Toppings: diced tomatoes, avocado, shredded cheese, salsa, cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions:
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté 2–3 minutes.
-
Add ground meat and cook until browned. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer 5 minutes.
-
While meat cooks, prep toppings and trim thick stems off cabbage leaves if needed.
-
Spoon taco meat into cabbage leaves and top with desired toppings.
-
Serve with a squeeze of lime and enjoy immediately!
